"Wherever we find the Word of God surely preached and heard, and the sacraments administered, according to the institution of Christ, there, it is not to be doubted, indeed a church of God.”

The ENTIRE universe is cursed because of the "fall" and that the "whole creation groaneth" (Romans 8:22). Tragedies unfortunately happen to the "just and the unjust". These disasters in Hatti, as well as other places, represent a sin infected earth that is waiting it's redemption as well as human beings in cursed bodies which are dying and decaying, as we wait for our own redemption. As far as Hatti making a "pact with the devil", well, the Haitians are no more under the control or "pact with the Devil" than a Wall Street executive, a teacher, a soccer mom, a dentist, a auto worker or any other person that has not been saved by Jesus Christ. In fact, all who are not covered by the blood of Christ and saved by faith in Jesus Christ, are by nature, "children of wrath"(Ephesians 2:3) - without making a "pact". They in fact, obey "the god of this world", and are "serving divers lust" under the dominion of "principalities and rulers of darkness" (Ephesians 6:12). And this goes for people of every nation: rich and poor, developed and non-developed, third world and first world, because "all have sinned and come short of the glory of God"(Romans 3:23). And unless the people of Hatti- and any other people groups as far as that is concerned- are under the control and power of the Holy Spirit, they and all people, regardless of nationality, are under the bondage of the evil one. And until they and mankind in general are free, all will need salvation, deliverance and redemption from Jesus Christ, the only one who can rescue them from something much greater than an earthquake: the wages of sin.

Listen as Televangelist Pat Robertson rambles off some non-biblical gibberish that sounds as if he's making it up as he talks. If Pat Robertson would read his bible instead of mouthing off nonsense, he would see how scripture relates to the Hatti disaster when it says...

SINFUL. Not only is it not a virtue but instead is form of manipulation- he points out this in a recent interview and you can read it in this article

The idea of being "nice" for men- and in fact for anyone- but in this case men, is a complete farce. Nice people are usually walked on, weak and passive and this is a death trap for most men. However there is a reason for this. In a fabulous book, by author Paul Coughlin, No More Christian Nice Guy he outlines the fallacy of being nice as a Christian and points out that it is neither biblical or ethical instead it is

"If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin. He that hates me hates my Father also. If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father. But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause." (John 15:22-25)

Here is a clear example of what Jesus Christ talks about when He mentions that "the world will hate you because it hates me." Muslims burn down churches and persecute Christians in Malaysia simply because they use the word Allah.Here is the article that points this out:Can Christians Say 'Allah'? In Malaysia, Muslims Say NoAlthough the article is interesting, however Jesus gives the answer and the real reason why when He says...

Welcome

Welcome to our church blog site! I'm Pastor Paul and I hope everyone will enjoy getting started on our page. Our church is about recapturing the lost for Christ, by spreading the gospel message of the church of God. We hope to bring the message of the protestant reformers back to the modern church while rescuing it from the worlds sinful influence and idolatry.

Statement of Faith

Our statement of faith is to call the Church, amidst a dying culture, to repent of its worldliness, idolatry and sin, to recover and confess the truth of God’s Word as did the protestant reformers, and to see that truth embodied in doctrine, worship, and life . In our mission as the Church, we are to present Christ Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit, that men will come to put their trust in God through Him, to accept Him as their Savior, and serve Him as their King in fellowship of His Church.
